on the small blue back

across the room prudence
7:23
jan with the heels of
7:25
her little ankle ties together
7:28
and her hands clasped tightly
7:30
behind her standing
7:33
in the corner seeing
7:35
what was known in the family
7:38
as her punish sentence
7:42
whenever she had been unusually
7:45
naughty he had to say
7:47
one four hundred times
7:50
up and aren't any through it
7:53
was no doubt ah
7:55
silly sort of punishment
7:59
it was
7:59
the prudence jane strongly
8:03
objected to and
8:05
that after all is
8:07
the essence of a punishment
8:10
gruden strain and
8:13
seven teasing mimicking
8:15
brothers and whenever
8:17
one of them carter saying
8:19
a punish sentence it
8:21
was days before she
8:24
heard the last of
8:26
already in the garden below there
8:29
was an audible shrill voice
8:31
singing ally

8:35
the lord the tune
8:38
of has anybody here
8:40
seen kelly and

out of the corner of her i
8:46
which was supposed to be
8:48
fastened on the rose birds
8:50
of aren't any wallpaper
8:53
prudence jane could see an impudent
8:56
little person in court arise
8:59
straddling the gravel walk
9:01
and squinting up at the window
9:04
use allies
9:07
an abomination in the bible
9:10
inquired prudent stream
9:12
yes said are
9:14
danny go on
9:17
where
9:19
demand and prudence chain
9:22
where
9:23
repeated aren't any a
9:26
little blankly why
9:28
why a be in the middle of
9:31
the bible don't you
9:33
listen to the minister prudence
9:35
chain the
9:37
middle of the ministers
9:39
bible
9:40
pursued britain's j
9:43
yes of course said
9:46
aren't any prudence
9:48
chain if you don't
9:50
go on at once i
9:53

9:55
hundred times
9:58
lies and the nation
10:00
unto the lord hundred
10:03
and twenty seven
10:05
presumed prudence jane hastily
10:09
gruden streams sensors varied
10:12
from day to day that
10:14
being aren't any idea
10:16
to fit the sentence to the crime
10:19
whenever possible nice
10:22
for being late to school it
10:24
was naturally across
10:26
the nation is the thief of
10:29
time wow
10:31
for telling leno the cook that
10:34
uncle arthur had said she was
10:36
more of a lady than aren't any
10:38
the sentence had been nothing
10:41
less the man truth crushed
10:43
to earth will rise
10:45
again this
10:48
particular fab had been
10:51
ferried disastrous in it's
10:53
consequences we
10:55
will not dwell upon them here
10:58
they make a story themselves
11:01
suffice it to say that
11:04
there was no possible excuse
11:07
for prudence day it
11:10
was otherwise with the film
11:12
for which she was this morning
11:14
serving a sentence up in
11:16
aren't any swirl those
11:19
who also have been named after the
11:21
two grandmothers will
11:23
at once forgive prudence
11:26
jane for telling the new
11:28
minister the very first
11:30
time she met him that
11:32
her name was imagine
11:34
rose it
11:36
was to be sure a
11:39
stupid little fab was
11:41
there for quite unworthy
11:44
of prudence change for
11:47
prudence jane almost
11:49
never told stupid little
11:51
since the
11:53
fibs of prudence chain
11:56
the little masterpieces
11:59
the finish and distinction
12:02
all their own her
12:05
brother will who adored
12:08
her and i had a large mind
12:11
declared when when home from college
12:14
that she was the greatest mistress
12:17
of imaginative fiction since
12:20
george eliot her
12:23
aunt any who had not
12:25
had the advantages of a college
12:27
course and who roomed
12:30
with prudence chain said
12:32
that she was a simple
12:35
little liar
12:37
now
12:38
this was unfair of
12:41
ah damn or whatever
12:43
else prudent chain might be
12:46
she was not simple
12:50
even her looks belied
12:52
her with her big
12:55
confiding eyes as
12:57
round and blue as to
12:59
forget me nuts and
13:02
her pale yellow hair home
13:04
demurely back from her forehead
13:07
by a blue ribbon select
13:10
she gave an impression of
13:12
toronto in a sense that was
13:15
all together misleading
13:18
he is so like
13:20
little birdie the year
13:22
old grandma piper would say
13:25
that seems frail flower
13:28
like look that he had
13:30
toward the last i
13:33
almost tremble sometimes
13:36
haven't you noticed a transparency
13:39
about her lately any
13:41
but
13:43
danny
13:44
never
13:46
it may be said in
13:48
passing that there was only
13:51
one person to whom prudence
13:53
jane was really transparent
13:57
and that was her youngest brother
13:59
peter
14:01
leader
14:02
square solid little
14:04
person with a vacant
14:06
countenance nothing
14:09
important that prudence chain
14:12
did caped him
14:15
the us to look into that sweet
14:18
little face is enough
14:20
for me grandma good
14:22
when would declare i
14:25
don't want anybody to
14:27
tell me that prudence
14:29
jane is on truth no
14:33
child could look straight
14:35
at you out of her little solar
14:38
she always does
14:40
and ten lists fab the
14:44
trouble is they don't understand
14:46
her at home i've
14:49
always said any piper
14:51
had piper had nature
14:55
the do aren't any
14:57
justice it should be said
14:59
that rooming with prudence jane
15:02
did not tend to cultivate
15:05
in one a nature that
15:07
was trustful and confide
15:11
and yet at heart prudence
15:13
jane was really not at
15:15
all the in corrigible
15:18
little stiffer she seemed
15:21
she told fix
15:23
not because she wished to deceive
15:27
because the dole facts of life
15:30
we're so much less interesting
15:33
than the lively little romances
15:36
which she could make up out
15:38
of her own head when
15:42
one is a creative team
15:44
as one naturally
15:46
rebels at being shackled
15:48
to anything so tedious
15:52
as a fact prudence
15:55
two mean looking back over
15:57
a day could rarely separate
16:00
the things which had really happened
16:02
from those she had invented
16:06
her brother horace who was
16:08
studying law said
16:11
that he would give a hundred dollars
16:13
to see prudence chain on the witness
16:16
stand this
16:18
was one night at supper when
16:20
she was being cross examined
16:23
by aren't any for
16:25
five minutes she had
16:27
kept the family spellbound
16:30
by a circumstantial account of
16:33
how that afternoon she
16:35
had seen an automobile
16:37
truck loaded with a thousand
16:40
boxes of eggs go
16:42
over the embankment we
16:45
the exit sixty five cents
16:47
doesn't this was really
16:50
a very shocking tail prudence
16:54
chain said aren't any
16:57
who had private sources of information
17:00
you know well enough but
17:02
enough truck went over the
17:05
embankment whatever
17:07
do you mean by telling
17:09
such an out bridges
17:11
sim
17:14
runes game looked across
17:16
the supper table at her art out
17:19
of to round candid
17:21
eyes
17:23
that wasn't a fib just
17:27
a story
17:29
well
17:32
it wasn't true and
17:34
stories that aren't true
17:37
are very wicked there
17:40
aren't any
17:41
with decision
17:44
no all the stories
17:46
and books true inquired
17:49
prudence jane the picture
17:52
of innocence behind her bowl
17:54
of bread and milk no
17:58
the any was
17:59
first to admit
18:01
good stories written in
18:03
books are the friend
18:06
the writers don't mean for
18:08
us to believe them
18:12
do they say so in
18:14
the books dawn
18:16
prudence jane relentlessly
18:20
oh course not and
18:22
aren't any we know
18:25
their stories are true so
18:27
they don't deceive us
18:30
but
18:32
you always know my
18:34
stories aren't true to
18:37
prudence
18:39
though
18:40
i don't deceive you either
18:44
rodents jane her
18:46
daughter had i can't
18:49
argue with you you
18:52
are a very naughty little
18:55
girl i
18:57
sometimes think that you don't
18:59
belong to us at all there
19:02
were so different from
19:04
your brothers
19:07
the
19:08
that is true
19:09
all the other little pipers
19:12
had been simple virtuous
19:14
children with imaginations
19:17
under perfect control oh
19:20
remarkable family everybody
19:23
had sat until
19:25
the papers became quite
19:27
complacent about themselves this
19:31
was why prudence jane seemed
19:33
like such a judgment
19:35
upon them they
19:38
had waited long and patiently
19:40
danny put it
19:42
providence to see fit to
19:45
send them a deer little girl
19:48
to inherit their grandmothers names
19:51
and they received the
19:56
had she appeared at an earlier
19:58
date
19:59
i had there been another girl
20:02
in the family she might
20:04
have escaped either the prudence
20:06
or the chain but
20:09
for fifteen years little
20:11
masculine papers had arrived
20:14
in the household with and broken
20:16
regularity and
20:18
, been named one by
20:21
one after all the
20:23
available grandfather's the
20:25
available for
20:27
the last one indeed there
20:30
had not been even a cousin
20:32
last and he had
20:34
been christened by common consent
20:37
peter piper
20:40
and still grandmother's
20:42
wasted from
20:45
the moment therefore when bluff
20:47
old doctor jones looked
20:49
in opponent parlor full of aunts
20:52
and announced that it was
20:55
a girl at last
20:57
by jove there
20:59
had been no choice laughed
21:02
prudence jane the
21:04
only point discussed in the solemn
21:06
family conclave was as
21:09
to whether she should not be
21:11
jane proves oh
21:15
mercy sake call
21:17
the poor little kid jurisprudence
21:20
and be done with it that
21:22
flippant uncle and
21:24
that had settled prudence
21:26
jane was duly entered
21:29
at the end of the list in
21:31
the middle of the family bible
21:34
and a career
21:35
the can grew
21:38
eight years she was just
21:40
unmitigated prudence jane
21:43
not a syllable of it could ever
21:45
be omitted last one
21:48
grandmother already other be
21:50
slighted
21:51
and then
21:53
suddenly one day
21:55
she decided that it was a combination
21:58
no longer to be one she
22:01
hated her name with all
22:04
her little soul therefore
22:08
she would discard it and
22:10
take another this
22:12
sounded simple but
22:15
there were in fact several
22:18
complications the
22:20
most important these aren't
22:22
any never
22:25
a really progressive spirit
22:28
in this matter of names aren't
22:31
any showed herself to be and out
22:33
and out stand batter
22:35
you wish that
22:38
you had been called windows
22:41
she echoed in horror as
22:44
she combed out the pale yellow
22:46
hair at bedtime why
22:49
gruden strain
22:52
i'm ashamed of you a
22:55
window then is a very
22:57
silly name indeed and
23:00
you have to
23:02
such noble ones
23:06
i hope that you will grow
23:08
up to be like to beautiful
23:10
grandma's who gave them
23:13
to you which was
23:15
are truly lovely little bit
23:17
of optimism on aren't
23:19
any part
23:23
prudence jane did not consult
23:25
aren't any further that
23:28
very night however staring
23:31
up into the darkness from her
23:33
little bed she decided
23:36
upon a new combination and
23:39
when the reverend mister sanders
23:41
came up to her the next day
23:43
after sunday school and
23:46

out of the room she was
28:23
considering what aren't any had
28:25
said about ministers and
28:27
she wondered
28:28
it would true
28:30
as she went tripping down
28:33
the stairs she decided
28:35
to put the reverend mister sanders
28:37
to a test the very
28:40
next time she met him and
28:43
that was why it was so surprising
28:46
then she peeked through the whole window
28:48
at the foot of the stairs to
28:51
behold him diligently wiping
28:53
his feet on the door mat
28:56
how do you do
28:59
prudence jane politely
29:01
she opened the door

29:19
touch to prudence j the

down upon at with a most friendly
29:26
smile

29:30
home he asked placing
29:32
his hat on the table and
29:34
following prudent jane into
29:37
the parlor
29:38
yes she said with
29:40
simple and under a fear
29:43
of that sort was quite
29:45
beneath prudence j then
29:48
she sat down on a velvet
29:50
sofa
29:51
spread out for little blue skirt
29:54
hold her hands in her lap and
29:57
crossed her ankle ties
29:59
she had never in
30:02
her life looked so much
30:04
like little birdie the
30:07
reverend mr sanders regarding
30:09
her from an opposite chair
30:12
we did for her to open her lips
30:15
and say speak lowered
30:17

31:12
peoples relations are and
31:15
she sounded like a mother
31:18
they always have such horrid
31:20
names
31:22
the minister looked
31:24
across the velvet sofa
31:27
with eyes that entirely
31:29
contradicted the gravity
31:31
of his base
31:34
no he said i'm
31:37

31:39

32:02
of your bible at all prudence

distrusted gentlemen who made
32:48
cryptic remarks of this sort
32:51
it was away her brother horace

32:55
she saw that the moment had now
32:57

ministers
33:03
and fibs she
33:06

33:12
repeated the minister no
33:15
that prudence jane looking
33:18
at him out of the depths and from
33:20
forget me not eyes
33:22
he's washed her hair
33:25
oh
33:26
the reverend mister sanders and
33:29
the tone of tone who finds the conversation
33:32
getting definitely beyond
33:34
him
33:35
at this moment an
33:37
apparition with round face
33:40
and a pair of corduroy shoulders
33:43
suddenly dark and the open window
33:47
a lie is an abomination
33:49
unto the lord it sank
33:52
and catching sight of luke clerical
33:54
back
33:55
banished history
33:58
interesting core
34:00
the observed the reverend mister sanders
34:04
prudence jane paid no
34:07
heed to this interruption
34:09
it's hanging
34:11
down her back now he
34:13
pursued launching upon
34:16
the details with her usual aplomb
34:19
it comes cleared down
34:21
to see here
34:23
and standing up she indicated
34:26
a point halfway between her
34:28
ankle ties and the bottom
34:30
of her ridiculous skirt
34:34
the minister gazed fascinated
34:38
jane sat down again he
34:42
watched it with packers tar
34:44
soap she said her
34:46
eyes fixed upon our victim
34:50
she was quite unable
34:52
to make out whether aren't any
34:55
was right about ministers
34:57
or not the
34:59
reverend mister sanders looked
35:02
like the stinks she
35:05
gave a piece to a gentleman once
35:09
dawn prudence jane warming
35:11
to her work he wasn't
35:14

35:58
sanders so i suspected

36:05
what did he mean by
36:07
that
36:08
prudence change to herself
36:12
she could no longer see his
36:14
face he had turned
36:16
abruptly in his chair
36:18
and was watching something through the
36:21
aperture in the protease
36:23
prudence jane heard
36:26
the thumb of a pair of shoes
36:28
plotting up the stairs and
36:31
along the upper half
36:33
she knew that it was
36:35
peter piper
36:36
going to find aren't any
36:39
there was a stir
36:42
in the room overhead muffled
36:45
sound of a rocking chair suddenly
36:47
abandoned followed
36:49
by the swisher skirts coming
36:52
along the passage and down
36:54
the stairs prudence
36:57
jane sat with parted lips
36:59
on the edge of the sofa the
37:03
reverend mister sanders swooped
37:05
decidedly nervous
37:07
that he rose and presented a bold
37:10
front to whatever
37:12
might be coming to him through those
37:14
portays
37:16
in another moment
37:18

mister sanders he
37:33

37:42
upon her nice prudence
37:45
jane was now standing in front
37:48
of the sofa tracing
37:50
a pattern of the carpet with the tow
37:53
of an ankle tie
37:55
why didn't you tell
37:57
me that mister sanders
37:59

38:06
to gaze at the cop

38:11
danny who never postponed

39:37
mister sanders
39:39
he didn't give any
39:42
asset to the piss compel and
39:47
and she turned and walked
39:49
discreetly through the parties
39:52
she felt that it was no moment
39:54
to stay and learn what became
39:56
of little girls who told
